Hi I'm Shona

I lived most of my life in “survival mode” - experiencing high functioning anxiety daily and controlled by a belief system that kept me small, with zero confidence, huge amounts of self doubt and an understanding that life is hard for the unworthy ones - which obviously was me!! In my head anyway.

What changed?

At the age of 45 I began to question life and how it was turning out for me. Huge life changes were going on and these were the toughest challenges of my life. These challenges seemed endless and added to my anxiety, self doubt and unworthiness.

The last straw was my Dad passing very suddenly, and becoming full time carer to my Mum overnight. Losing my Dad sent me over the edge and I fell apart - It had to be a nightmare, he was here and then not, it wasn't meant to be that way, we had so much still to do together!!

The unbearable grief kept me from participating in life, for weeks on end.  Then my children pleaded with me “to try to get back to normal”   They wanted their Mum back.

I can remember getting out of bed and into my shower and questioning life, surely there has to be more than this ?

And from there synchronicities started appearing and leading me in a new direction

I knew one thing and that was I did not want to go back to "normal", I wanted and needed to create a new life for me, because my past normal was one of emotional discomfort and hardship.

I returned to therapy, and of course this helped with grief and other life challenges, but the results didnt last, it didn’t help ease my anxiety, fear or overwhelm longer term.

So I looked towards other somatic practices, afuelled by my curiosity, new  found eagerness, and a knowing there is something out there that will help.  This is when I found EFT/tapping  an amazing, simple  but immensely impactful solution that literally changed my life - allowing me to experience my first anxiety free moments and to feel total calm in my body.  For the first time since early childhood I felt safe in my body and in life generally - at this point I never knew how important this was in maintaining results and change in my life.

Living day to day with continued change and transformation nudged me to find out how I could study this technique, other somatic practices.  I had lived my life with my thoughts and emoitions controlling my life outcomes and never knew all along I was giving power to thoughts and beliefs that were untrue - it was time to take my power back, to  re-learn for me to then be able to help others.

A huge part of my transformation was creating my own daily practices which allowed me to work with my emotions and to be able to calm my mind and body within minutes, whatever the circumstance.  These are still my daily practices to remain self aware of my thoughs and belief and remain in control of my life as a whole.

Which led me here xox
